Antonio Ortuño es una de las voces más reconocidas de la literatura mexicana contemporánea y en esta novela reabre una ventana a sus inquietudes narrativas más alucinantes.


Apenas a sus dieciocho años, a Carlitos Villaurrutia lo mata una bala perdida, en mitad de una trifulca que se desata en el puesto de piratería de su familia. Para su amigo List, el duelo se convierte en horror cuando, meses después, recibe un mensaje instantáneo de Carlitos. Un mensaje que no debería existir. Así, entre el espanto y el absurdo, List se lanza a una investigación que es todo menos profesional para seguir el rastro de los chats de su amigo muerto. Un camino de pistas surreales, personajes tan cotidianos como extravagantes y recuerdos de una infancia compartida.


Novela que es, a la vez, un relato de iniciación, una comedia negra y un thriller puesto de cabeza, El amigo muerto explora las relaciones que van más allá de la lógica, las culpas que no se confiesan y el peso de esa eterna violencia que, a veces, solo puede enfrentarse con una sonrisa incrédula, en un país donde hasta los fantasmas tienen datos ilimitados.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Antonio Ortuño is one of the most recognized voices in contemporary Mexican literature and in this novel he reopens a window onto his most hallucinatory narrative concerns.


At just eighteen years old, Carlitos Villaurrutia is killed by a stray bullet during a brawl that breaks out at his family's piracy stall. For his friend List, grief turns to horror when, months later, he receives an instant message from Carlitos. A message that should not exist. Thus, between dread and absurdity, List embarks on an investigation that is anything but professional to follow the trail of his dead friend's chats. A path of surreal clues, characters as ordinary as they are eccentric, and memories of a shared childhood.


At once a coming-of-age tale, a dark comedy, and an upside-down thriller, El amigo muerto (The Dead Friend) explores relationships that defy logic, unconfessed guilt, and the weight of that perpetual violence that, at times, can only be faced with an incredulous smile, in a country where even ghosts have unlimited data.

Comfortable and cool. Does not ride up.
Color: 01-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Medium
Extremely comfortable. Stays cool. Ample coverage. Quality material. They do not creep up. I ordered a medium which I generally take a size small. I have reordered and will reorder again to add more colors to my collection.

Great Value for Cool Thigh Protection
Color: 02-multicolour (4-pack), Size: XX-Large
For the price, I'm not sure there are better women's boxer shortlettes anywhere. I've tried more expensive brands, and for quality and cooling, these are right up there. I have other bamboo viscose undies that still get gross when I get sweaty in the summer, but these, with the large mesh panel, really help wick away a lot of that moisture, keeping you feeling dryer and cooler. I find that the leg openings are comfortable and don't roll up! and the waist band doesn't dig, nor does it roll down. These do not provide any compression, and I wasn't looking for any. I just wanted some cooling, thigh protecting women's boxers that wouldn't break the bank. These are them! Bonus- I've washed them and put them in the dryer (following their instructions), and they haven't shrunk; they look about the same and are nice and soft.

Great for the entire family but expensive
So far so good. The brand of boxers we had been buying changed their style and construction so we needed to find an alternative. These have held up well so far to multiple weeks of frequent washing and wearing from the entire family. We did size up from the usual 6/M we normally buy and ordered large to prevent the legs from rolling up which worked out great. Our daughter likes the length and how soft the fabric is for wearing under skirts and gym shorts and liners stay put without moving or leaking as another reviewer mentioned. Our son says they are comfortable and fit well being just supportive enough without being constrictive. We all agree that there seems to be not enough fabric in the back as they tend to be much tighter across the backside than the front and that also causes the waist band to ride lower in the back than the front. These have better seam placement than some brands we tried with no seam across the lady bits and no seam down the middle of the back side so they are more much comfortable but the cost is also much higher and that is why we're only giving it 4 stars. These will stay in the rotation until we find something cheaper that both us and the kids like.

Pregnant lady review! Soft, comfortable, cool.
Color: 03-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Large
So soft, comfortable and cool. I'm pregnant and I've gained weight in my legs. I love wearing dresses but my thighs were rubbing together too much. These are perfect to wear under dresses. I also wear them under my bibs at work and it keeps me from getting overheated but I don't have to worry about whether or not my underwear show since they just look like shorts. I wish these came in maternity. I just keep them below my belly. I'll be buying more for sure.

I want to live in these
Color: 01-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Medium
I bought 4 different sets of new underwear. Unfortunately these came last. It’s unfortunate, because if they had come first I would have cancelled all my other orders or returned them and ordered more of these. I never want to wear anything else ever again; these are the comfiest undies I’ve ever owned, I want to live in them. I can wear them under pretty much anything except leggings or very tight pants (but let’s be honest, I don’t wear those anyway.) They are incredibly soft and breathable, they wash well, don’t roll, keep my thighs from rubbing, are comfy to sleep in, and the colors were true to the photo. Just a heads up, they are on the thin side and just a bit see through in the rear. I’m 5’5” 140lbs and the mediums fit perfectly, they go about mid-thigh.
